Product Details

Product Description

A stunning new voice in American fiction, Sara Gruen makes a masterful debut with a novel of family, tragedy, rebirth ... and the breathtaking love of something wild. As a world-class equestrienne and Olympic contender, Annemarie Zimmer lived for the thrill of flight atop a strong, graceful animal. Then, at eighteen, a tragic accident destroyed her riding career and Harry, her beloved and distinctively marked horse. Now, twenty years later, Annemarie is coming home to her dying father's New Hampshire horse farm. Jobless and abandoned, she is bringing her troubled teenaged daughter to this place of pain and memory, where ghosts of an unresolved youth still haunt the fields and stables -- and where hope lives in the eyes of the handsome, gentle veterinarian Annemarie loved as a girl ... and in the seductive allure of a trainer with a magic touch. But everything will change yet again with one glimpse of a red and white striped gelding startlingly similar to the one Annemarie lost in another lifetime. And an obsession is born that could shatter her fragile world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Power of Horse Love May 20 2013
By Patricia Connolly
Format:Kindle Edition
I read this book shortly after it was released, which was coincidentally shortly after my own beloved Dillinger, a horse I owned and raised for 18 years died. Not only was I able to relate to the very real healing magic in Annemaries relationship with her horse, I was able to further my own healing through journeying with Annemarie...and her beloved Harry....

Such a lovely, painful, healing, sad and happy story and so very well written. Kudos to you Sara Gruen!!

I read this after reading Water for Elephants so it was a bit of a letdown. Very simple to read with not much substance.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME horse novel!! A must read.
As an event rider myself, I could not put the book down. I also read her next book "flying changes" which picks up where this book ends. Highly recommended!

Normally it takes me two weeks to get through a book but I read this one in two sittings. I blame Gruen for making me burn my stew! Read more
